The oral cavity is in many respects a very
interesting part of the human body .
Many different kind of tissue from the hardest teeth to the softest, the salivary glands are found therein.
The oral cavity is lined with an uninterrupted mucosa which is continuous with the skin near vermillion border of the lips and with the pharyngeal mucosa in the region of soft palate
INTRODUCTION
![Page 4: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Functions of oral mucosa
Protection : Barrier for mechanical trauma and microbiological insults
Sensation : Temperature (heat and cold), touch, pain, Reflexes such as swallowing, gagging and salivation
Absorption : Nitrates are absorbed sublingually
![Page 5: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Secretion:
Salivary secretion creates a moist oral cavity helps in speech, swallowing, mastication and in the perception of taste.
Thermal regulation:
Important in dogs not in humans
Excretion:
excretion of certain metabolites
Esthetics :
Lips and gingiva enhance facial esthetics

![Page 10: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Oral epithelium
Consists of two populations of cells:Progenitor populationMaturing population
Progenitor cells function is to divide and provide new cells
Maturing cells continually undergo a process of differentiation or maturation to form a protective layer
![Page 11: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Amplifying CellsStem cells
Progenitor Cells
• Slow dividing • Maintain basal cell layer
• Rapidly dividing• Form other cell layers.

Basal layer made of cell that synthesize DNA & undergo mitosis.
Stratum Basale
Basal cells show ribosomes & elements of rough endoplasmic reticulum indicative of protein synthesizing activity.
![Page 17: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Structureless zone seen under light microscope is basement membrane.
1 – 4 microns wide.
Under electron microscope, Basal lamina
lamina lucida – light zone lamina densa – dark
zone
![Page 18: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Basal cells are attached to basal lamina by hemidesmosomes.
Epithelial cell-cell contact is made through desmosomes - macula adherens. These are anchored intracellularly by tonofibrils.
![Page 19: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
i) Serrated- heavily packed with tonofilaments which are adaptations for attachment.
ii) Non-serrated – stem cells – slowly dividing cells which serve to protect genetic information of the tissue.
![Page 20: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Stratum spinosum or prickle cell layer:
It is a layer of relatively large irregular polyhedral cells.
Show first sign of maturation.
Nuclei stains less intense the intercellular spaces of the prickle layer are large and distended, with more prominent desmosomes
![Page 21: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Stratum granulosum
Flatter & wider & nuclei show signs of degeneration & pyknosis.
![Page 22: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Active in protein synthesis.
Involucrin - soluble precursor protein of the cornified envelope appears first in the spinosum.
Protein synthesis rate progressively gets diminished as cell approaches stratum corneum.
In the upper part cells of stratum granulosum, shows granules called ODLAND BODIES.
![Page 23: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Keratinosome or odland bodies or membrane containing granulesModified lysosomes
0.25µm in length.
Rich in phospholipids.
Structure - layers of parallel lamellae, probably originating from golgi apparatus.
Lamellar granules discharge their contents - permeability barrier.
![Page 24: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Stratum corneum
Made up of keratinised squamae, which are larger & flatter than the granular cells.
Nuclei & other organelles disappear.
![Page 25: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Cell surfaces in this layer are more regular & more closely adapted to adjacent cell surfaces.
The filaggrin a non fibrous inter-filamentous matrix protien helps in this close adaptation.
![Page 26: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Types of keratinized epithelium Parakeratinized Epithelium :The superficial cells are dead but retain the nucleus

Mucosa of the Tongue - Specialised mucosa
Anatomical division It is divided into two parts by a V-shaped groove known as sulcus terminalis.
Anterior 2/3rd or papillary portion or body of the tongue contains lingual papillae.
Posterior 1/3rd is lymphatic portion or base of the
tongue contains lingual tonsil.
![Page 42: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
The different papillae found on the dorsal surface of the tongue are:
1. Filliform papillae
2. Fungiform papillae
3. Circumvallate papillae
4. Foliate papillae
![Page 43: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
1. Filliform papillae

3. Circumvallate papillae
Located at the junction of the anterior two thirds (body) and posterior one thirds (base) of the tongue
There are eight to twelve in number
Lined with taste buds and also openings of serous glands
The secretion from the serous glands washes away food for renewal of taste

Gingiva
Covers the alveolar process of jaws and surrounds the cervical portion of teeth.
It develops from the union of oral epithelium and reduced enamel epithelium
Gingiva can be classified as
Free gingiva,
Attached gingiva and
Interdental papilla
![Page 53: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Part of the oral mucosa that surrounds the necks of the teeth and forms the free margin of the gingival tissue
differentiated apically by the free gingival groove
Free gingiva (marginal gingiva)
![Page 54: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Attached gingivaBetween the free gingival groove and the alveolar mucosa
The junction of the attached gingiva and the alveolar mucosa is called mucogingival junction
In healthy mouth attached gingiva shows stippling
![Page 55: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Interdental papilla Appear in-between teeth apical to the contact points
Valley like depression in the interdental papilla called Col.
![Page 56: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Gingival sulcus
Space or potential space between the tooth surface and the free gingiva.
It is lined with sulcular epithelium
Extends from free gingival margin to the junctional epithelium.
![Page 57: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Junctional epitheliumForms the seal of the gingival epithelium and the tooth
Floor of the gingival sulcus and extends apically to the enamel of the tooth
Disturbances of epithelial attachment results in deepening of the sulcus which is a sign of gingival/periodontal disease
![Page 58: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Sulcular epithelium
It is nonkeratinized.
No rete pegs in sulcular epithelium.
Sulcular epithelium is continuous With gingival epithelium & the attachment epithelium
![Page 59: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Gingiva contains dense fibers of collagen:
Dentogingival : extends from the
cervical cementum into the lamina
propria of the gingiva.
Circular: small group of fibers
that circle the tooth & interlace
with other fibers.
![Page 60: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Dentoperiosteal: fibers can be followed from the cementum into periosteum of the alveolar crest & of the buccal & palatal or lingual surface of the alveolar bone.
Alveologingival: fibers arise from the alveolar crest & extends into lamina propria.
![Page 61: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Biologic Width
![Page 62: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Biologic widthThe dimension of space that the healthy gingival tissues occupy above the alveolar bone is the biologic width.
Connective Tissue attachment + junctional epithelium constitutes Biologic width 1.07mm +0.97mm= 2.04 mm
Any restoration should be atleast 3mm above the alveolar crest to prevent the violation of the biologic width.

Epulis Fissuratum
It is a pathologic condition that appears in the mouth as an overgrowth of fibrous connective tissue.
Also known as inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia, denture epulis and denture induced fibrous hyperplasia.
It is mainly caused due to ill fitting dentures
![Page 72: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)

Denture bearing area
Points to be considered while fabrication of
denture:
Selective placement of forces by denture
base on supporting tissues.
Form and placement of denture borders to
accommodate normal function.
![Page 76: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Selective placement of force can be achieved by employing different impression techniques depending on the patients oral condition
Minimal pressure technique/Mucostatic technique .
Selective pressure technique.
Pressure / Muco-compressive technique.
![Page 77: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Crest of the residual ridge (maxillary)
Firmly attached to the bone.Keratinized epithelium.Dense collagen fibers .Sub mucosa – fat or glandular cells.
Primary support for denture.
![Page 78: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Palatine rugae
Irregularly shaped rolls of soft tissue in the anterior part of hard palate.
Clinical considerations Secondary stress bearing area. Resists forward movement of denture. Tissue rebound phenomenon. Maxillary major connector should end into
depressions between the rugae.
![Page 79: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Mucous membrane of hamular notch
Space between the posterior part of the maxillary tuberosity & pterygoid hamulus.
It is thick and made of loose areolar tissue.
Marks the distal end of
denture.
![Page 80: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Buccal shelf area
Partially keratinized.
Loosely attached.
Bone – compact bone.
Clinical implication
Impression should cover
the entire available area.
![Page 81: Histology of oral mucous membrane and gingiva](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052202/5561b865d8b42a74208b4d4a/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Slope of the residual ridge (mandibular)
Keratinized epithelium .
When the soft tissue is
movable in the crest of the
ridge ,impression should be
recorded in its resting position.

F.P.D & oral mucosa
Sub gingival finish esthetics.
old restoration extending into the intracrevicular space.
Insufficient vertical length or height
Margins should be smooth with proper fit.

Implants and Biological width
It has been found that the biological width need not be a vertical dimension but can have a horizontal component.
Platform switching provides this horizontal distance and so preserves the crestal bone.
